A kinder atmosphere for the growth of in
comparable cottages is that surrounding
Tuxedo park. Invited for Friday until the
following Tuesday morning, l went down in
tending to study oil the workings of the club,
to penetrate even to its reason for being, to
learn how many acres the park covered, and,
in fine, to supply you with the driest and
fullest statistics. But 1 came away as ignor-
mt os 1 went l had too good a time to
bother about reasons or measure acres, and
you will have to be content with a general
description. Your good resolution, doubt
less, would hive been broken like mine. Soft
pleasure would have possessed o as soon as
you entered the stately park gates and been
driven for a mile and q half along the Dor
ders of a steel blue lake, and through woods
OF soft and vivid green to the Memorial club
house. You would nave sunk into an easy
chair on the piazza, and, while gazing over a
landscape which nature and man nave gar.
dened, never once hazarded an impertinent
question.
Tho Tuxedo Park club house is almost too
handsome and convenient TO be likened to q
manor, where one looks for moss and a little
discomfort. 1t is neither a family residence
nor a fine hotel, but it possesses the virtues of
both. The nuisanceS of either q train of
romping children and q group of young men
with cigarettes and minocles have no part in
the ultra civilization of the Tuxedo club. The
bachelors, save when they are dining or dane
ing, or making calls at the house, are banished
to an annex, and children and nurses are con.
fined in another annex, called the kennel. "
Surrounding the house, like fluffy chickens
about the mother hen, are the cottages, and
at the first symptoms of danger, q burned
outlet or q dismissed cook, they find sure
refuge under her wing. At q safe distance
from the habitable portion of Tuxedo, the
stables have been erected, and these com.
prise the entire stabling accommodation of
the park, for, according to a stipulation in
his lease, no proprietor is permitted to build
q private stable. Every imaginable kind OF
vehicle is at the command of guests, from
the tiny goat carriage upward to the victoria
and tantivy coach.-Willis Steel in Chicago
Times.

The medical authorities are pretty much
agreed both here and in Europe that dis
ease germs may be transmitted in milk,
and, to quote them Blyth), there are
on record "a number of well anthem
ticated outbreaks OF typhoid fever, of
diphtheria and of scarlet fever in which
no reasonable doubt exists as to the
milk having played the part of an infected
garment and conveyed the disease. The
exact way in which the poison gained ac-
cess to the milk in these various cases has
not always been clear, but we may pre-
sumo that adulteration with specifically
tainted water, the handling of dairy uten-
sils by persons whose hands AVE been
soiled with the discharges of the sick, the
dropping of epithelial scales into the milk
cans in the curse of transmission, are all
possibilities n are likely to have the eff
feet of tainting the milk" Experiments
in England nav demonstrated that tu-
~berculosis, or pulmonary consumption, af.
fects about 2 per cent. of the cows, and
that the tuberculous matter can be traced
in the milk of the animals so affected.
The percentage is much higher in France.
Considering the vast extent of the milk
supply, it is impossible to doubt that some
proportion of milk that is disease tainted
liz drank.-New York World.

ANTELOPE GETTING SCARCE.

The Game Going Down Before the Guns
of the Hunters-Baby Antelope.
"Your city people who want sport and
who never do anything but fish a little in the
small streams near here ought to coma up to
Fort Bidwell," said Jonathan Chaplin to a
reporter.
There is the biggest lot of antelope north
of Fort Bidwell and beyond the Oregon line
ever saw. Very pretty they are, too, with
beautiful tawny skins and graceful car
rage.
Its almost a pity to kill them, but they do
it. 1t won't be long till the antelope, like the
buffalo, will have to take a back seat. There
won't be any left. Nowhere else in Califor-
mia are antelope now to be found, and no
where contiguous to the state, but on the
plains of eastern Oregon. But the latter
region is, or much of it, already just like the
great American desert. 1t looks as though
1t was too great in extent and too barren to
ever be anything else but the home of prairie
dogs, wolves and these antelopes
w know enough about the progress of
the country generally, though, to know that
this cannot be. Water will be brought on
the land; it will be made productive, and the
game will go down before the guns of the
hunters.
"There are indeed a great many antelope
there. Two weeks ago 1 saw four or five
bands while crossing over from Oregon in a
wagon. There were as many as twenty or
thirty together in some Of the droves. In
Others there were from seven to a dozen.
"There is no difficulty about seeing plenty
Of them. We killed three and had the best
antelope steak to eat you ever saw. We only
saved out the best meat.
"There have been a good many killed lately
partly for sport, partly to use as meat. 1
don't think the skins nave been saved at all.
There are some Of the funniest little ante
lopes there you ever saw-little bits of deli
cate, graceful things only a couple of months
old. Very pretty, too, they are. A fawn or
a lamb doesn't begin to impress you the way
one of these cunning little antelopes does.
Women go wild about them when they see
them. Perhaps there is no living thing, bar
ring a little child, that they are so taken with
as a baby antelope.
"There have always been lots of antelope
near the Nevada line and out toward Idaho,
but think the past winter must have been
unusually good for them, else there wouldn't
be so many now. There seems to be a good
many more than during any single year for
some time past.
"h there is any law against killing them l
have never heard of it, and nobody pays any
attention to it, anyhow, if there is. 1 think
it wouldn't be q bad plan if there was such a
law, because they are now too scarce on the
continent, generally speaking, to have them
killed of. n-San Francisco Examiner.

A tall, gaunt man, dressed in buckskin,
with a helmet Of feathers browning features
bronzed by the sun, can Ne seen every day
perambulating Ann street. Sometimes he
carries a pair of Indian clubs slung over his
broad shoulders. His name is Long Pete,
and he is a Canadian Indian. He makes a
living by exhibiting his person on the streets.
He is unskilled in any other kind of labor.
Sometimes dressed like a Sioux chieftain he
walks weary miles Of sidewalk in the inter
ests of patent medicine houses who have the
latest "Indian remedy" to advertise; at others
he appears in full war paint to boom the
business of dealers in dumb bells, Indian
clubs, trapezes and old rags.
Hundreds of men are in the same line of
business. Some confine themselves exclu-
sively to restaurant advertising, and walk as
animated sandwiches an eyesore to the
public gaze. They make on I'm average 81 a
day. They have a labor organization of their
own, but as every member is a walking dele
gate few benefits have come of it.-New York

Within two days the Listener wit
messed a couple of incidents on Washing
ton street which illustrated admirably
the difference there is in people. Pass
ing along near the corner of Temple place
he saw two stout elderly ladies standing
side by side-one facing one way, how
ever, and the other the other way, glar-
ing at each other with furious eyes.
There was a little grinning crowd about
them, and when the Listener came quite
up to them he saw what was the matter.
In meeting and undertaking to pass, the
clothing of these two elderly ladies had
come in contact, and a projecting button
upon the dress of n had caught in the
lace on the garments of the other. Their
strain to d~isentangle themselves had
drawn them into a regular snarl; the
wrath of each had been raised to the
boiling point, and each woman seemed
to be eXclaiming in the language of the
Scripture, ''Who shall deliver me from
this body of death?" Instead of leav-
ing the acknowledgements to one of the
two to be managed with elaboration
and discretion, zach was Juggling away
spitefully at the point of jointure.
There seemed to be likelihood of an &C.
casion for the interference Of the police
presently, for the faces of the two la
dies were growing redder and redder
and their eyes snapped more and more
f~uriously. Presently one lady gave a
desperate tug, the lace gave way and
the tie was severed. But imagine the
feelings of the lady whose lace had been
laceratedi
Next day, passing over almost the
same ground, the Listener saw a pretty
girl, brown eyed, ruddy checked and
short haired, and a stout. Irishwoman in
a bonnet, a red and black shawl and a
green poplin dress, who were walking in
opposite directions, stop all at once,
caught fast, just as the two women of
the day before had been. The young
girl smiled family and good naturally.
The Irishwoman took in the situation
and courtesied.
"Sure, miss" said she, "an' it's a
sign that Wen meet in heaven!''
The young lady smiled more pro-
~nouncedly and said;
wait a moment and l will unfasten
it."
With half a minutes work she olsen
tangled the snarl.
"Ah, miss, reminder it." said the
1rishwoman as she moved away, radiant
with smiles, ''we're to meet in heaven,
sure. : Boston Transcript.

A CompetlIiye ..shoot.,

A shooting match which is creating
some comment is to take place as near
the fair ground on the afternoon of Tues.
day next, in which some of Cheyenne's
most expert marksmen will exhibit their
skill. The competitors are members from
both of our city clubs. John Shuneman
and George East, of the Magic City club,
and Messrs. Channel and Bergersen, of
the Cheyenne Gun club. The stakes for
which the marksmen are to compete are
$50 for each club and the winners will be
those who bring down the greatest num-
Der OF birds. 1t will also be something of
u test as to the efficiency of the guns
which are to be used-the members of
each club using a different style and char
acter OF gun.
Many bets are being made on the re-
suit of the match, as all four of the com
petitors are excellent marksmen.
